I arrive into Auckland on what seems to me to be a really cool evening. Well considering I've been living in 29+ degrees for the last few weeks adjusting to the mid teens might take a little getting used to! I've given myself 25 days to get around the North & South Island so my thinking before I arrived is that I might just get myself a camper van. I'm fairly excited about it all, the thought of been able to go where you want & when you want is very appealing and not alone that I'd even get a double bed to myself...that's what sold it to me ;-)
The camper van comes equipped with none less than a fridge/sink/gas cooker/cooking utensils/bed linen/portable DVD player/blow heater and of course a must have on every trip to NZ a Hot Water bottle!? Can you believe it? You couldn't get these luxuries in a Hotel never mind a Hostel! Happy days.
Before I leave Auckland I manage to meet up with a couple of Uni mates who moved out here just over a year ago, Graeme & Sharon (back of the hand to ya Bailey! ;-)) Its great to catch up with a few familiar faces plus their tips on where to go in NZ were a great help. Also I must not forget the collection of movies & tv series Graeme has supplied me just to keep me entertained for what he says while be some cold dark nights in the back of the camper van, it can't get that cold can it???
